PABLO BLAU

Pablo Blau's salt therapyPABLO BLAU

The local luxury spa (#02-26A Raffles City Shopping Centre) is the first to offer exclusive skin treatments in a salt room environment replicated after salt mines and caves in Europe.

Pablo Blau’s treatment rooms are entirely coated with pharmaceutical-grade dry salt crystals and equipped with a unique salt generator, which grinds and produces atmospheric salt particles to create an environment that is allergen- and bacteria-free. 

These microscopic salt particles help to clear congestion and calm inflammation and irritations.

Other benefits include the improvement of skin appearance and conditions like acne, dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema, prevention of common cold and flu, cleansing and sanitation of the airways, strengthening of the immune system and relief of allergy and improvement on overall wellness by removing toxicity from the respiratory system.
